Yeah they did, though to differentiate, they'd sometimes apply them slightly off-axis. Having a unified air-recognition system was a great way to avoid having an international air-strike coalition destroying their own tanks in friendly-fire situations.

Unless of course the air support was being supplied by the US Army Air Corps, in which case you probably stood a better chance if your tank was liberally covered in balkenkreuz.
